Re: Ground redevelopment

The reason that the club haven't redeveloped the old stand is because it is not viable. What would a new stand cost? Three, four, five million? You'd have to sell an awful lot of hospitality boxes in order for it to pay for itself. There's no point in bankrupting the club for the sake of a vanity pr...

Re: Player of the year and other nominations

Tozer for me.
Has been so good that he has allowed Duff to play with a back three not four. Has impacted up the other end as well.
His goal-line clearance against Man City typified the commitment of the whole team.

We are trying to win the league while only scoring only one goal a game. Will be quite an achievement if we can do it.

Boyle Raglan Tozer. The best back line in league 2.

Re: Cooper sacked

The sense of entitlement at that club is incredible. Some of the replacement manager names being banded about on their forum are laughable.
He must have known he was on his way out. You don't let the managers contract run out if you want to keep him. He only had a month left anyway

Re: Morecambe v Cheltenham Town

We're all a bit disappointed but to be top three at this stage of the season is a massive achievement and a credit to Michael Duff.
